Steal My Simple Sunday Routine To Guarantee A Strong Start To Your Week

Winners prepare on Sunday.

Here's how:

Every Sunday evening, I follow a simple 6-step routine.

And you can use it to start your week ahead of everyone else:

Step 1: Steam room + ice bath rotation

I go 25 minutes in the steam room & straight into 8 minutes in the ice bath.

Every week, I try to go just 1 second more in the cold plunge than the week before, working up to 10 minutes this year.

Step 2: Meal prep for Monday-Wednesday (minimum)

I like to have everything taken care of here for at least the first 3 days of the week.

If I know it's a week I need to be strapped in Monday-Friday, I'll prep the whole week.

Step 3: Organize my project & task list for the week

I make 4 lists:

• Maker tasks
• Manager tasks
• Personal tasks
• Open loops that I can't take action on at the moment but need to close eventually

Everything else goes on a later list to get to in the future.

Step 4: Brain dump journal anything on my mind

With the above completed, I'll get any lingering thoughts out via handwritten journaling.

Sometimes this is just 5 minutes, other times it's an hour if there is tons on my mind.

Step 5: Tidy up my house

This is how I know I've finally become an adult.

Spending (and enjoying) my last 20 minutes of the week cleaning my house is something I never thought I'd do, yet here we are.

Step 6: Stretch and fall asleep before 9 PM

Finally:

• I put my phone on airplane mode
• Grab my foam roller
• Get some mobility work in
• Fall asleep nice and early
